We have a team of volunteers from all over the USA beginning to get ready for a trip to Ethiopia, November 9-19, to work with the kids at Kind Hearts, Trees of Glory and Kechene CarePoints.
Right now - there are about 150 children attending each of these Children's HopeChest CarePoints - a total of 450 kids who no longer ...
- go to bed with hunger gnawing in their bellies
- feel sick from the water they drink
- yearn to go to school (knowing that education is the key to breaking the chains of poverty!)
- suffer with a lingering illness or infection that a simple antibiotic would cure
- lack hope for their future
For most of these kids - just getting the chance to feel the loving arms of a mommy or daddy wrapped around them while they nestle into your lap to have a book read to them, is one of many reasons they look forward to our visit!
There are just a few spots left for our trip in November - Contact me at kjwistrom@yahoo.com if you are interested in joining the team this year! Total trip cost is approximately $2,600-$2,900 depending on airfare from your nearest airport.
The last few spots will fill fast, contact me at kjwistrom@yahoo.com
